Guys, I had just a rather heartwrenching theory: What if Olive, Ace and Rook were named after Joel's pets?

I know it sounds like a weird theory but Joel's 3 abused pets were never given names. What if King named his puppies after the trio of abused pets who abandoned him as a Freudian way to cope with the loss of his old pet friends who turned on him? I mean, who knows? Maybe on some level, King feels some level of pity towards them despite the betrayal so he's naming his puppies after them as a way to "start a new beginning" with Olive, Ace and Rook?

Also, another thought: What would happen if King visited heaven again and crossed paths with the old pets who turned on him when he was Joel? I'm sure he'd recognize them but would they recognize him (Not visually, but who knows? Maybe Joel's old scent still lingers on King). Because let's face it: At this point, Joel's 3 unnamed pets likely died of old age so there's no way he can cross paths with them in the physical realm.

Dunno if a topic like this has been posted before, it just suddenly popped into my head and made me feel all sad.

...And Bailey probably chose one of those names at least. But, I admit, Valerio, I really warmed to your insight. Besides the redemptive dimension, there's a great story dormant there. (Dad, Dad, tell us where you and Mom got our names !!!)

However, turn off the moonbeams. At this point in the King epic, Doug, you're probably dead on.
